It’s Gameday Dubs Fans!

The Warriors begin a much easier stretch than the past four games, starting with the Memphis Grizzlies who will be without star Ja Morant.

On today’s episode I posed a simple question for Dan Devone, from 95.7 The Game. He was not high on the Warriors as a serious threat in the west and I gave him the floor to hop on board. Did he?

In this episode, we explore the Warriors’ dynamic team play, reminiscent of their golden years, and discuss the standout performances of Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins. We also tackle the big question: who steps up as the number two when Steph Curry isn’t on the floor? Jonathan Kuminga’s name comes up, and we debate whether he can fill those shoes.

Dan and I also delve into the strategic decisions by the Warriors’ front office, praising their focus on depth and defense over chasing big-name free agents. We ponder the team’s future moves and whether they should stick with their current roster or make a splash at the trade deadline.

And of course, we couldn’t ignore the emotional showdown against Dallas, where Steph Curry’s intensity was palpable. We discuss the significance of that game and what it means for the Warriors moving forward.
